Qet, Qetsiyah wait!...ugh, come on I cant run that far!" I ran after her and she eventually stopped refusing to face me. "Get away from me Levi...you don't want me around." She replied, "What are you talking about...of course I do. no one is perfect, heck i'm a demon, but it doesn't mean-" She turned around and her eyes were black as coals and bloody tears ran down her face. "I said go away...I don't want to hurt you! She said so, she said it all the time but i wouldn't listen!" I stepped closer and she backed away. "Look, everyone has a side to them they don't like, everyone doesn't like a part of themselves it's natural." I said, "NATURAL? YOU CALL THIS NATURAL?!" She yelled, I was hit with a wave of energy and nearly sent me flying if I didn't transform. "Yes I call it natural, look at me; I'm not pretty or glamorous. I was kicked out of the Celestial Realm and even now I'm nothing! I'm not responsible like Lucifer or Charismatic like Asmodeus or Smart Like Satan or strong like Beelzebub. I can't get myself out of situations like Mammon can or can work under pressure like Belphegor! I HAVE NOTHING GOING FOR ME! I'm just some creepy otaku who obsesses over anime and figurines because I can't make any real friends. I'm nobody...and I hate myself for it!" I assured

Her eyes softened to a very deep blue and she continued to cry. "She makes me do things...there was a time when I couldn't control her and I hurt people! i don't want to do that again...but i'm so alone!" She cried, I got close enough to put my arms around her and she cried on my chest. her dress was bloody so I put my jacket around her and held her hand. she was quiet for a while as we just sat on the ground. "Levi..." "Hmm?" You do have something going for you...Your heart." I blushed at that and turned my face. she reached up and turned me back to her, her eyes back to that light brown. "I think...you are the only one who didn't run away; who didn't cower in fear at me when I got like that." She said, "Well, why should I?" She looked back up at me confused. "If I can't like someone at their worst then I don't deserve them at their best. I know it's only been a few hours...but I really like you. That's never happened before." I replied, She leaned into me, and I held her close. I really like you Qet, you could never scare me.

I walked along the dark Devildom streets alone, but inside was much darker. I had come to realize that all that I had sought to protect was so close to destruction by my hand. I was so focused on keeping Kyung safe and thinking of what was best for her that I never cared to truly see it. Flashes of my Darling songbird danced across my mind as the pain of the realization struck my heart again and again. her first day at Devildom, the day I helped her with her books, the day I professed my love, the day we made love for the first time and then the day she was killed. All hit me at once. That woman I love since the day she chose to be mine has been a light in my darkness. She has shone through time and again when I thought I would never see again. Her light brought me peace, it brought me comfort, it eradicated my wrath and replaced it with a feeling of passion and contentment, and then I watched her light fade before my eyes, I watched as the darkness swallowed me whole once more and the wrath consumed my already damned soul. I became nothing more than rage and destruction, I became a monster, a monster I never wanted to be! I frightened myself but I could not fight it off! My grief was too strong and the wrath was too inviting and I was weak. I couldn't pull myself from the depths of my rage and it was her light that pulled me out again! And yet, all that I've done in the time since then, all that I thought I was doing to ensure our future and her safety I never learned the lesson she was trying to teach me. I was granted mercy I had never earned; I was given grace and it was because I wanted more! I wanted more than the rage, and she pitied my cries and granted it to me. And yet when my time came to pay it forward, when I was to extend my hand and give that grace I recoiled and spat venom claiming it was in the name of safety.

But in all, who was I lashing out at? She is no safer with Qetsiyah than she is with me, and in no more danger. So who was I truly angry at? I tried to dispel the monster by becoming a bigger one and that drove the very thing I love most away. In the end...I am to blame for it all. My flame flickered and it pained me as it had almost gone out but I clutched to my hope that maybe I could still make it right. I made it back to the house and I knocked on my bedroom door. no answer. I knocked again and more silence. please...Kyung I need your gentle breath on my flame, don't let it go out now...I opened the door and saw her laying on my bed holding my pillow. It appears her death affected me on a greater level then expected.

I laid there for a while. Our perfect little creatures are still comforting me. I forget at what point I started singing Angel of Music. "Here in this room he calls me softly Somewhere inside, hiding, Somehow I know he's always with me He, the unseen genius." I began, "Who is this angel? Angel of music, hide no longer Secret and strange angel He's with me even now." I sniffled and hugged his pillow really tight. "Darling, even though I hate angels I can't help but feel like you are my angel. The one thing I have been searching for since I was a girl and old enough to think for myself." I wasn't really sure why I was sad. Part of it was because Satan scared the first girlfriend I had. He didn't even do it in private he did it in public and I hate things like that. Darling...sometimes you do forget to use that large gorgeous brain of yours.

"Kyung..." My voice caught, I didn't even know what to say to her now, She quickly shot up at the sound of my voice, with her tears still streaming down her face, and our perfect little creatures on her chest. She jumped up, and I was ready for her to slap me again, but instead she ran to me and threw her arms around me, and began to sob harder. "Satan...I'm sorry! I was so mean to you." She began, "Kyung...I..." My chest felt so heavy, I had expected her to yell at me more, to hate me. But this, I can't take this. She gripped me so tight, to my surprise it didn't tear any of my clothing. "Kyung...why...why don't you hate me? I ruined everything?" I must have sounded like a child.

"Satan, you idiot! It's impossible to hate you!" She said fighting threw her tears, "No matter how many times you fuck up, I can't hate you, even if you cheated on me and got some other pretty demon pregnant I couldn't hate you! Don't you get it yet?" "NO I DON'T GET IT! I DON'T GET IT AT ALL!" I fell to my knees and cried, why was she still holding onto me so tightly? "I don't understand why you even love me, why such a monster like me could ever deserve your love and kindness! I even had the chance to do the same for Qet and I FUCKED IT ALL UP1" I said, "I always do that, make you mad and then you forgive me, break your heart and you say it's ok, disappoint you and you smile. It isn't right...it isn't right at all and all the books in the world will never help me understand how you could love anyone like me!" Suddenly she kissed me slowly, it caused my heart to increase its speed, she had so much passion, so much feeling I couldn't keep my thoughts together. Then she started running her fingers through my hair.

"You dummy! That's what love is! No matter how angry you make me, no matter how sad you make me, I will always forgive you! No book in the world could explain love, it's nothing but positive feelings, and strong emotion that just makes you feel good! And you want to do any and everything so you can always feel good!" She said, "I am in love with you Satan, and I would fall in love with you a million times over!" "But...why...even at my worst...you still...?" I began, it didn't make sense, even at my worst she still showered me in her love. "Because! If I can't love you at your worst then why the fuck am I trying to love you at your best?" Is that truly the answer, is that what I was needing...I wasn't sure but I hugged her close and cuddled her as though afraid to let her go, Mei…."There is no secret formula, there is no step by step instructions, it just is. I want the rest of my eternity with you. I want to wake up to you every day and lay next to you every night, and I want to give you as many kids as you want to have regardless of however many girls or boys. If you want 20 I want to give them all to you." She said as she sobbed more, "Kyung...I have to make it right...but I don't know how." I replied, "Just be you." She replied, I lost it at that moment and held her close. I had to find Lady Qet, hopefully it wasn't too late.

Levi brought me to a food truck and ordered some rainbow pizza. for us to share. we sat at an outside table together and ate our food in mostly silence. "I'm sorry it isn't the Ristorante Six, but hopefully it was alright." He said, I was trying to be careful not to talk with my mouth full and Levi giggled at me. "Don't be silly, this is amazing and I never knew this existed!" I ate the slice hungrily and he laughed, "What is so funny?" "You have a bit of sauce on your face." I took a napkin and wiped my mouth and he laughed more. "No over here," He took a napkin and wiped my cheek, grazing my lips with his finger as he did look and looking at me for several seconds. I felt like my face was on fire and he turned away. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to embarrass you.''He said, I turned him back to me. "How do you know that?" The color, it's like an anime i've seen: Green is calm, yellow would be happy, Blue is sad, orange is...red is angry, black is wishing death on others and I don't think I know what purple is but our eyes have had that color for a little while now" I saw that sauce had gotten onto Levis cheek and I wiped it off but then petted his hair after making him squeal. "Depending on how the rest of the night goes i'll let you know." I replied,

This girl was amazing, she seemed to show a lot of interest in what i had to say and even when it wasn't much She still treated me with so much respect. "Levi...do you still want to see Akasha?" She asked, "Well yeah. I do if you are up to it. Are you sure?" She scooted closer to me and I felt like I would have a meltdown. "Can I put you to the test Levi?" She asked me, "Uhh, I'm not sure...I guess so." I replied nervously, She let her hair down and leaned into me. "Levi...let's forget the concert,how about you and I go back to my lair and we see what comes naturally?" I Nearly screamed as I fell from my seat, her eyes were as orange as Beels hair and were looking at me! I swallowed hard and put my hand on her shoulder and moved back "I'm sorry but this is a once in a lifetime opportunity! I may never see Akasha again." I replied, She smiled and kissed my cheek. "You really are different.I really like you Levi." She said, Now it was my turn to be embarrassed. Well, I like you too, let's see the concert together shall we?" she nodded. I wasn't sure what the test was but I was sure that that kiss meant I had passed.

Satan...sitting there having him hold me so close brought so much relief to me. I feel his emotions. I had no idea me dying how much it hurt him. We had to go find Qet and Levi, we have to make this right. Even if they are both monsters and even if they are convinced they don't deserve happiness, they do like any other creature does. Satan and Qet are more alike than they realize, regardless of what happens, no matter if Lady Qet's or Satan's darkness grabs a hold of them. I won't let them be submerged or fall to it. I gripped the back of Satan's jacket tighter. "Mei...We have to find Qet and Levi. I-I have to apologize to her. I don't know if she will forgive me, but I have to make this right." Satan said, I released myself from him and nodded in agreement. "I will call Levi." I said, I took my D.D.D and dialed Leviathan, please I hope he has a hold of her and was able to catch her.

I was having a wonderful time with Levi, he was different and in the best ways I loved how shy he was because I could relate so well. I noticed his device ring and he picked up to answer it. "Mei...yeah I don't think so. He acted like an ass to her, he hurt her feelings!" He said, I waited as he talked, it seemed he was talking to Ky about Satan. "Qet, it's Kyung and Satan they want to come back and apologize, I'm not letting them unless it's what you want." He was so thoughtful. I wanted desperately to make amends and nodded. "She said it's ok, but I don't like it at all. Well...ok,...ok,...Fine but these are the conditions: we are going to this concert but not for you but for her! She wanted to spend time with friends and he is not going to ruin it for her! Second he will have to do a lot more than apologize to her! He better grovel! and if he messes up again I'll tear him apart! Alright...see you there." He looked at me a little mad and shook his head. "Why are you so nice, he humiliated you!" He scolded, "He isn't the first to do so, I haven't exactly been known as the kindest witch in Devildom. So if he heard stories and got scared I'm not angry...I just want them to understand" He touched my cheek and smiled compassionately. "It will be ok, you have us. No one will hurt you again I promise." Leviathan said, "You are so sweet" I blushed, maybe it would be a wonderful night after all.

I clicked my demon phone off. "Well, what did he say?" Satan asked anxiously, I sighed, "Levi said she will accept your apology, however you are going to have to do more than simply just apologize you will need to grovel. Secondly he said we are going this concert for her so she can get the night she wanted and deserved, and lastly he said if you mess up again he will tear you apart." I finished. I didn't notice my little Nuri back on my shoulder until I felt him cooing and nuzzling me. Libella did the same to Satan. "Ya, eommawa appaneun gwaenchanh-a, appaneun danji ulie daehae geogjeonghagoiss-eo, geuneun uliga gwaenchanh-eunji hwag-inhago sip-eo." I told them, they made noises again and licked our faces. Why are they so perfect?

"So she would give me a second chance?" I was relieved, I stood and looked to my collection of books and pulled out a favorite of mine. "This book 'The Tragedy of Two Kingdoms was a favorite of mine. It is about a queen who has two daughters, one was cruel and the younger was too kind. Neither was fit to rule so she made them rule together. But they went against each other and the nation turned to ruin." I replied, "The tragedy is that if the two queens had worked together the nation would have thrived, it's a warning of compromise and coming together. I think she will like this." She nodded, "I think she will too love. Come on, let's go to her so we can give her the night out she has been wanting." She said as she held out her hand for me to hold.

Levi and I had made it to the entrance of the stadium to wait for them.

"Oh hey there they are!" I pointed as they walked our way, I don't know why I was so happy when I saw them again, I suppose the thought of going back the way things were was all I wanted. Satan looked so sad and it hurt me to see it. He cleared his throat and got on his knees to my surprise, I know Levi had said it but I wasn't expecting it to happen! "Lady Qetsiyah, I have been rude and blatantly disrespectful towards you. There is no excuse for my actions, but I want to reconcile. I have brought you a favorite book of mine. I hope that you will take it as a token of my apologies and please forgive me." He was so sincere! I dropped down and hugged my friend. "Of course I do, I'm just happy you still like me." I replied,

To be honest, it hurt to see my darling Satan submit and do that for a girl. I can see if it was for Lord Diavolo or Lucifer, but it stung to see him do that. I know he truly meant it though, I think Lady Qet and Satan need each other more than they both understand. They are similar to each other, and I really don't think they understand that. Lady Qet helped him up, and he gave her a sincere embrace. I couldn't help but smile at the sight. I walked over to her and hugged her tightly. And whispered to her "Regardless of what happens, whatever your dealing with and feel like you don't have a hold anymore I won't let whatever is bounding you consume you, I promise." I finished as I stroked her hair. I hope my dear friend knows I mean it.

The words she said brought tears to my eyes. I had never thought I would come across such wonderful people! I looked to the three of them and my heart swelled. "I have been blessed with good friends. "Levi blushed and hid his face. And I giggled. "Shall we go inside now?" We ventured inside and Lady Qet took my hand, I felt butterflies in my stomach, she seemed to like me but was it really hard to believe. Either way I was determined to make this a good night.

These moments...the lights of the concert, the high noise, everything I was experiencing in such a short amount of time never made me so happy before. In my previous life I would be sitting with my dog on my couch, studying or completing work assignments. Since I have come here I have done more things in a month versus a total of my 25 years of living as a human. I gazed my eyes up at the gorgeous sea of emeralds my darling Satan possesses. He looked down and smiled at me. Those gorgeous white teeth. Then looking over at Levi and Qet, they are hitting it off so well, she is so happy hanging with him. I squeezed my darling Satan tighter, Mei, you have made the best decision of your life to change and live the life you have always wanted. The final song was starting and it was a slow song, Levi pulled Qet to him closely, and swayed to the sound of the music. Stan did the same bringing his head down on my shoulder and giving me a kiss. I truly now know what happiness is.
